About Goblin

Goblin Magazine was launched on December 1st 2018, The first Irish skateboarding magazine in over 10 years. Our attempt is to bring together the different facets of skateboarding under one roof so that we can give a unique insight to the talented work that skateboarders produce. We aim to showcase skateboardings potential in the world to connect people from different backgrounds and to share the valuable lessons it teaches us with the wider public. We incorporate different Artists, Photographers, Filmers, Musicians and Writers works in long term projects. Our magazine provides us a way to bring a host of talent in different areas together, to document and compile those pushing their avenues in skateboarding, whilst having a physical memory to cherish and share with their family and friends.

Skateboarding is not simply the act of skating itself, but rather a host of different elements that need each other to thrive. Music, Artwork, Photography, Videography and social commentary all have their unique place within skateboarding. as a culture skateboarding remains largely removed from mainstream activities, We show the benefit to its multiple art forms and how it can help young people deal with their mental & physical health by connecting to communities and becoming engaged in their interests. We document those that turn the cities into their own playground in ways never intended, utilising every inch of space which often leads to humorous stories and tales of misfortune.

We hosted a full length skateboarding video filmed & edited by our founder Philip Halton all across the country, premiered in the sugar club to a sold out audience. In December of 2019 we released our second issue of goblin, followed by a photography & art zine named ‘‘transition’’ as we adjusted the covid-19 pandemic. Our latest issue, number 3, was released in early December 2021 to a second sold out show in the sugar club. Issue 4 is to be released this summer, along with our largest event to date.

Our team consists of our founder and project manager Philip Halton, head designer Aidan Moore & Michael McMaster as editor & creative director. Together they have worked with many individuals from artists, photographers, writers and videographers to create goblin and ensure that it is inclusive and produces quality work, whilst showcasing the talent of people all across Ireland and beyond.
